[PORT][ROM][4.4.4][WIP]Stock Sony Firmware - Xperia SP General

Hi,
I'm working on a C6603 port for our Xperia SP. This port will NOT be a themed Rom. This is a stock rom for Unlocked Bootloader.
Don't ask for ETAs
Prerequisite
Code:
Your Warranty is void.
If your phone stops working/burst into flames/goes down the toilet, I'm NOT responsible for it.
Since this is a port, I shall be needing a Logcat along with bugs/crashes.
Your device should be rooted and should have custom recovery installed.
Create a Nandroid backup before flashing.
In order to recover, you have got to flash stock rom (4.3) root , install recovery and restore your backup.
If the ROM boots, I shall transfer this thread to the Development Section.

Work has been resumed !
I need a team of expertise.
Someone who could develop kernel for Rom. I not good at developing kernel.
Combining C5303 zImage and C6603 ramdisk, and changing /dev/block paths in the C6603 ramdisk to C5303 ones should make the ROM boot.'
'
Another problem is to whether use CM11 as base or replace Core files from Android 4.3 to C6603's 4.4.4 ?
Note: Everybody have contributed to this project shall get equal credits, as a team.

C6603 refers to Xperia Z.

Can you tell us more about this ROM? And is it booting?

Okay,
This is .283 stock firmware (Android 4.4.4 release) which Sony had released for Xperia Z. While both the device i.e... C6603 & C5303 have a similar hardware setup , I thought why not port it to our Xperia SP ?
About the booting part.....
My Xperia has gone out for repair. I'm currently using a backup phone for the time being. I personally couldn't test it out. That is why I needed testers.

I hope we get a feed back from the testers soon.

Uhm officialy you can not rely on the phones from other users
So best is to test it first, add more details and then ask for tester

There are already 2 testers.

upload the test file

Did it work?

Not working :/ get bootlop...

@jancsessz
I'll be needing a logcat.
Sorry guys,
I'm stopping the project for now. I have got my Semester End papers going on in College. Will resume the work after 28th of November.
Till then......
PS - If a developer would like to work on the project , I could pass on the files to him/her and would gladly appreciate the work.

Okay,
I have found the root cause of getting bootloop.
.207 kernel doesn't support the current build. Combining zImage of .207 kernel with a modified Ramdisk of .283 kernel of Xperia Z should do the trick. But it'll require an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Fully working CyanogenMod 7 for x10 pls!

Hi! I just want to ask if its possible to make a fully working CM7? The new Gingerbread is out so all the sources are avilable. Or not? The current CM7's have no camera and a few bugs. The official GB have camera and all...
Is this possible for now or have we to wait until GB x10 is rooted? It would be great to have a great CM7 with all working!
Thx! Ákos
I am also searching for this

It should work with the sources from the prerooted ROMs, just a matter of time for someone to port this over. The sources were released a few days back, so a little bit of patience is in order...

[Q] [CM] Install CM without unlocking bootloader

Hello all,
I have a question regarding my Xperia Z.
I would like to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 (Stable) for my Xperia Z but I do see some various kinds of methods.
1. By using fastboot (Don't know exactely what it does).
2. By using a custom recovery.
Now, my phone is rooted and I do have a custom recovery.
Can I flash Cyanogenmod without unlocking my bootloader? (I don't want to loose Bravia engine and Stamina mode) when I ever decide to go back to stock.
From what I understand, fastboot will flash the CM kernel (not possible with a locked bootloader) while the custom recovery only installs a rom without a kernel.
Does it mean that I will have the stock kernel but with CM rom on it?
A couple of questions comes to mind in total:
- Can I flash CM using custom recovery?
- How to return to stock rom if ever needed (Will i loose my Bravia Engine -> DRM keys)?
- How to update the kernel to a new stock kernel if needed while running CM?
Kind regards,
You can't. You need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash the cm kernel.

But that does mean that I'll loose my DRM keys forever?
I don't want to lose them just in case I need to restore.
And if I unlock my bootloader, how do I exactely flash CM?

Before unlocking, you can save your DRM keys with this method.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the process then the following:
1. Root phone without unlocking bootloader.
2. Install CMW
3. Backup DRM keys.
4. Take Nandroid backup.
5. Save the files of the backups (3 & 4) in a safe location.
6. Unlock bootloader.
7. Flash CM.
For a restore:
1. Reflash stock rom.
2. Restore nandroid backup.
3. Restore backup of DRM keys.
Can you confirm that this process is correct, because I really want to install CM.
Is there a list somewhere (cannot find it on the official CM website) that lists me what kind of bugs there are in a specific CM version (what is not working)?
Kind regards,
Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't at least AOKP and ParanoidAndroid developed for locked bootloaders on other phones? If so, technically it should be possible with our Z, right?

I doubt it, but if they were they won't have been a true port.
Honestly, i don't understand the DRM thing. It's not like you lose important features. If you can unlock your bootloader, then do it. Not doing it would be like buying a Ferrari just for your Garage.

Just because they're not important to you doesn't mean they're not to others, and even if I could unlock I'd probably still be holding off in the hope that someone comes up with an S1Tool that allows Sim and Bootloader unlocking for late 2012, 2013 Xperias.

There are only 2 bugs that I know of: the screen takes 1.5 seconds to wake up after pressing the power button, loudspeaker in calls doesn't work.
I've also heard that hdmi out is broken but I haven't tried.
I'm running Cyanogenmod personally and it's great.

NEW: 14.3.A.0.757 is rolling out

New update (14.3.A.0.757) now rolling to Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact; fixes KitKat sound bug issue
Sony is now rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat bug-fix, just as it had promised last week. Firmware build 14.3.A.0.757 replaces the previous KitKat build (14.3.A.0.681) and fixes the sound bug issue which frustrated many. The issue related to sounds from the handset being played through the internal, rather than the external speaker.
The update is rolling out across all variants of the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 Compact. We have included a list of regions where it has currently hit right now, however expect this to broaden over the coming days. If you’ve downloaded it, let us know if it fixes all of the issues you’ve had with the new KitKat build.

It's very easy to install. Download and unpack the archive. Install your favorite compiler (gcc, clang or something else). Compile binaries from source. Build one ftf from binaries and install it on your phone. Vualya, you have new firmware installed.
Seriously, its only source and nothing else, its not firmware.

Shared this link in the Doomkernel thread, so Doom himself can analyze the .tar package and see if it is anything improved / new in those sources or just like the previous KitKat ones..

Just out of curiosity, which versions of the Xperia Z2 are you coding for?
Any idea if it will run on the Japanese version? (SO-03F) I'm planning on getting one soon and trying to figure out my rooting options first.
Once I get it I'll of course be willing to be a guinea pig as I've got my current phone as a daily driver backup.

well thats good news
I love how people Hage such amazing text interpretation skills. The device tree was added to Github. There are lots of resources there for third party devs to work on and build their own AOSP, or AOSP based ROM.
But this isn't a official release. There never was. This is meant for developers and developers only.

Not a rom, its neither a aosp rom

Unlocked bootloaders ONLY. If you still had a locked bootloader and ran AOSP, then your warranty wouldn't be void, thus creating problems for Sony, with non Devs users returning phones and help queries etc...

But if AOSP is provided by Sony themselves, why would they threat it as warranty voiding?
Lets take for example Xiaomi, for Mi3 and Mi4 gsmarena.com said that You could choose either MIUI or AOSP, and You get OTA updates for both (I am not sure if that is official, I do not own a Xiaomi device). Would be great if Sony would do something similar, Google Play Edition would also work for me, as long as I get to keep all the Bravia Engine and X-Reality goodness
I believe it should work on LB.
That's the whole point...
Sony want AOSP users to use their kernels and their fw, work tested in their labs.
It should work on LB as well...

There is a difference between google play editions and kernel source. If the source is precompiled, its as good as stock. Uncompiled source can be edited to cause serious hardware damage resulting in the void of warranty clause.
Xiaomi is yet to release kernel source for Mi3 and Mi4.

I don't understand your point here...
I know there are differences, that's why Sony works on this, officially.
We have CM and AOSP ROMs for Z1/Z2 but Sony now hired guy from here to help them in building AOSP that'll work on LB and is released by Sony.
That way, they still can control and approve what will go to device abd what won't...
Maybe I'm wrong but what's the point of releasing AOSP without kernel support from bootloader?
We already have that..
My guess would be - they want us to use AOSP but they don't want us to unlock bootloader and mess with DRM keys.
It will work on LB because when sony compile a kernel its got a Sony Signature which matches that of a locked bootloader
So any AOSP compiled rom by sony is for LB
